Summary: a wonderful southwest Baba Yaga
Comment: The southwest flavor is wonderful. I live only three hours from Sante Fe. Both text and illustrations accurately give a "feel" for the area.

I have read many versions of Baba Yaga. It's interesting to see how she changes in the various tellings, but until this book, I had never read an American retelling. The author and illustrator succeeded in changing the setting without changing the basics of who Baby Yaga is.

It's a more light-hearted telling than some of the European versions.

Summary: Southwest BabaYaga
Comment: As a child I loved Baba Yaga stories. Her house with chicken legs was wonderful. Now meet Alice Nizzy Nazzy, the witch of Santa Fe. With road runner feet and cactus yard, Alice is a Baba Yaga for America. Tomie DePaola's wonderful illustrations perfectly capture this retelling of the classic tale.
